Federation Collecting Funds in Response to Hurricane in Haiti

As part of the Jewish community’s response to the effects of Hurrican Tomas in Haiti, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation is collecting funds to provide immediate humanitarian aid to earthquake victims and their families. One hundred percent of all contributions to this fund are being allocated directly to the relief effort.

Funds Already at Work

With hundreds of donors joining in the Jewish community's response to the devastation caused by the massive earthquake of January 12, 2010, Federation has been able to raise vital funds to provide immediate emergency assistance for those most in need. Already, tens of thousands of dollars from Federation’s Haiti Relief Fund have been transmitted to Haiti through Federation's trusted, longtime overseas agency, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). JDC is working with numerous organizations on the ground in Haiti, wherever they are needed.

What's New

The Mission of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation is to mobilize human and financial resources to care for those in need, strengthen Jewish life and advance the unity, values and shared purpose of the Jewish people in Miami, in Israel and around the world.
